This release is a real treat for all rock fans: the first CD contains new songs that show once again that Russ Ballard’s inspiration has never left him, while the second CD contains brand new recordings of famous hits that he has either written or performed himself over the years. Russ Ballard expresses his excitement for the release: “It’s a great thing to release a new album. What started as my “lockdown tapes” during the pandemic turned into an album! During the lockdown, my studio has been a lifesaver for me and I’ve found new ways of writing and recording. The result gives listeners a great insight into that time – check it out!”

Russ Ballard is simply one of the most recognizable and talented songwriters in pop and rock music. His music career began when he was just 14 years old and wrote a song that was recorded by the Shadows and appeared on their 1964 album “The Sound Of The Shadows”.

Throughout the 70s and 80s, his songs dominated the airwaves and the list of his hits is almost endless. From “Since You Been Gone” (Rainbow), “God Gave Rock’n’Roll To You” (Argent and Kiss), “So You Win Again” (Hot Chocolate), “New York Groove” (Hello and Ace Frehley), “You Can Do Magic” (America), “Winning” (Santana) or “I Don’t Believe In Miracles” (Colin Blunstone) – just to name a few – anyone who needed a great song knew they couldn’t go wrong with Russ Ballard

He also produced numerous records/artists such as Roger Daltrey, America, Elkie Brooks, Skindred and Sada Vidoo. in 1974 he started a solo career (after his time with the band Argent in the early 70s), which culminated in the album “S/t” in 1984 (with the hit single “Voices”) and the follow-up album “The Fire Still Burns”.

Since then, Russ has released 10 studio albums and is still writing and producing hits. Three songs from his 1984 and 1985 albums were featured on the TV show “Miami Vice” and played extensively on dancefloors across Europe.Reviews
“His melodies and choruses are simply catchy, but also live from clever, varied arrangements and mostly move in the medium, sometimes calm tempo range. First-class adult rock!” (GoodTimes, April/May 2025)
